Prospective PhD students: At the
Delta Lab and through
DTR, we transform the way people design, work, learn,
and play. Join our interdisciplinary team of designers,
technologists, and researchers. Apply through EECS,
TSB, or CS+LS.

The goal of my research is to advance the design of integrated
socio-technical models that solve complex problems and advance
human values at scale. Toward this goal, I design, build, and
study Computational Ecosystems that interweave community
process, social structures, and intelligent systems to unite
people and machines to overcome large challenges. Specific research directions include:

agile research studios:
advance research training with organizational processes and cyberlearning
technologies for research communities.
